I think that the wonderful thing about the Atkins WOE is that we can resist "throwing in the towel" due to our reduced carb cravings and hunger. Can you imagine (and some of us who have tried low-fat/calorie have experienced this) being hungry all the time, having cravings for high carb foods? No wonder they give up so easily and so often. There really is no room on a low-fat/calorie diet for the "treats" that low-carbers can enjoy (albeit in moderation).

So just keep being a good role model for the proper way to lose weight and not torture yourself while doing it!
